Trend Micro Antivirus for Mac has a slightly outdated user interface, but not terribly so. Intego (00:11) was again the fastest with Norton (00:13), Bitdefender (00:16) and Avast (00:18) all grouped pretty tightly together. Only Kaspersky (00:53) finished anywhere near as slowly.

Trend Micro's smart scan looks at the most common areas for viruses or malware. In terms of raw speed, Intego (6:22) was the fastest, while Avast (10:25) and Norton (11:45) finished just ahead of Trend Micro. That's about 200,000 more files than any app other than Kaspersky tested in a full scan, which makes the speed of the scan more impressive and perhaps partially explains the massive performance hit. Trend Micro Antivirus for Mac's first full scan took 12 minutes and 3 seconds and scanned 851,055 files. Avast (3%) and Intego (3%) were somewhat slower, and Kaspersky (4%) took last place in a second category. That was behind only Norton (0%) and even with Bitdefender (1%).
The quick scan went much better, with just a 1% drop for Trend Micro. Bitdefender (19%) saw less than half the slowdown of Trend Micro while Kaspersky (12%) and Norton (12%) were at nearly one-quarter the size of Trend Micro's impact. This was easily the worst result Intego (34%) and Avast (27%) were next up. The full scan was a disaster for Trend Micro, with a 46% performance hit. Kaspersky saw the biggest background performance hit here at 3%. That marginal drop of about 1% was ever so slightly worse than most of the others, but almost imperceptibly so.
